I see, thanks

By the way, juggernaut cap mod has a bug, building is wh_main_dwf_workshop_4 now, which should be wh_main_dwf_workshop_3

The average weight of a given building tier is certainly debatable, and may well be changed in the future, but that's most likely going to vary by race/faction if I do make changes. Factions with fantastic economies can afford to build more recruitment buildings, and so should get a lower value per building. Factions with poor or terrible economies can rarely afford to build recruitment buildings, so those buildings might reasonably be worth more. From the playthroughs I've done, I don't think the values are too terrible as they stand however, and making a blanket +50% increase to the T3 buildings seems much too much.

You can find the values for the building caps in building_effects_junction_tables if you want to make adjustments in your own copy of the file.

Once again you're comparing one unit against a building's worth of units. This comparison is meaningless.
If you want more of a particular unit, build more of that unit's buildings. There's no way you can build a dragon peak and a worship building in every one of your provinces: you have to choose what to build with your limited slots, and within the limits of your economy. Build more worship buildings, and you'll get more Phoenix Guard.

one phoenix guard per province, while there are more dragons is a little strange

and 50 I means averaged weight, current average tier 3 return is around 35, 50 might be better

Anyway, those are just my feeling, if I want to increase phoenix guard cap myself what do I need to edit?

Your first point is already done on a case-by-case basis.

Your second point: 50x higher caps for T3 and below units compared to T5 units? No. Just no.

I understand, I just feel weight should also considering cost instead of just tier, like some powerful units have high cap because their tier is low while other weaker but lower tier unit cap is low

CA won't considering tier too much when assigning units, for example, last patch CA just move down Khaine worship building one tier

And by averagely, top tier 3 building will build just 1 to 2 times more than top tier4/5 building, may be increase return to about 50 will be better

In general, I think you should take a bit of time to look over the balance calculations I'm using before offering further feedback, as none of the suggestions you make follow the design principles I'm using. You can see the calculations here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ncI3IKbivUUVXOoqcIobdWF4uFlCH44wEcYyx8w_Ec4/edit?usp=sharing

Specific to your point of quality dwarf infantry, Hammerers and Ironbreakers come from a large settlement-only building, which offers nothing else except access to a hero. Two T4 units, one hero, and very limited access (one per province at an absolute maximum). Longbeards come from a T3 building, so it can be built absolutely anywhere, which they also share with: Miners with blasting charges; Dwarf Warriors; Dwarf Warriors with Great Weapons; Quarrellers, and Quarrellers with Great Weapons. And even then, you still get two Longbeards, and two Longbeards with Great Weapons from that for a total of four. While I do appreciate that you're trying to offer feedback, I feel like you're making balancing suggestions without making any effort to understand how the balancing works.

actually, I think every faction top tier infantry cap should increase to like 2 to 4 each province
except Dwarf which get +4 Hammerer and Ironbreakers, even more than Long Beards
